Dancing With The Stars' Tony Dovolani is the father of twins after his wife gave birth to a boy and a girl.

The professional dancer's wife Lina gave birth to son Adrian and daughter Adriana on Monday at a hospital close to their Connecticut home.

Dovolani tells People.com, "We are so happy, I can't stop smiling. Lina was such a champ, and she looks incredible right now."

The babies are the second and third children for the couple, who already have a three-year-old daughter, Luana.

I like both names seperately, but not on twins. I think it's especially UNCUTE to give boy/girl twins matchy names. :/

those aren't matchy names. Adrian and Ariana would be matchy. Aidan and Adriana would be matchy. Adrian and Adriana are the same name.

There is only 1 set of siblings that can get away with having the same name, and that's Pete and Pete

Well, there ARE only 2 names in the world, and they gave one of them to their first kid. What's a parent to do?

I love Adrian, but Adriana is a bit much.

I suppose it would be worse if he named them Adrian and Adrienne...but it's still pretty bad.

I like Adrian, and I think Adriana is alright...but in one sibset? As twins? Um, no.

I suppose those people don't like thinking of names as much as we do, otherwise they'd have come up with two completely different names ;)!

I can barely stand when any siblings have any kind of matchy names, so this is just awful.

Urgh.. how lame....

At least they're pronounced a little bit differently.. kind of like naming your twins Stephanie and Stephen, although not as distinct.. at least it wasn't something like Paul and Paula...

I like both names, but not as a sibset, obviously!

What on earth would you do for nicknames?? I think they'd wind up being called the same thing. It's bad enough that you could be considered a single unit simply by virtue of being twins, but having essentially the same name just makes it so much worse.

Adriana and Luana? Pity if both girls get stuck with 'ana' as a nn, like one poster suggested.
+ Adrian for the boy = lazy parents
:(

Just pointing out - the twins are actually Adrian and Ariana, not Adriana. Source - People.com. (http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20224329,00.html?xid=rss-topheadlines)
